Contract Paper Policy
OMNIA Inclusion Ltd — how we contract with schools.
Version: 1.0 Last updated: 1 June 2026
Why we have this policy
We are a small, well-funded specialist SEND platform. We keep our prices low for schools by keeping our overheads — including legal overheads — low. Negotiating a bespoke Master Services Agreement for every school would cost both sides time and money, and would slow down the only thing that matters: getting SEND pupils the right provision faster.
We therefore contract on OMNIA paper only. This is the same model used by Google Workspace for Education, Microsoft 365 Education, Canva for Education, and every other SaaS provider you already use.
What we sign
- Our Terms of Service — master commercial terms.
- Our Data Processing Agreement — UK GDPR / PDPL-compliant controller-processor terms (within the ToS).
- The relevant jurisdiction addendum where you are outside the UK.
- An Order Form — naming the School, the contract term, the fee, and any per-deal elections (e.g. for UAE schools: choice of arbitration centre).
That is the entire contract. There is no fifth document.
What we will negotiate
We will adjust the Order Form for any of the following without legal review on our side:
| Item | Latitude |
|---|---|
| School legal name + address | Yours to confirm |
| Contract term (1 / 2 / 3 years) | Yours to choose |
| Annual fee + payment terms (30 / 60 days) | Per our pricing |
| Named contacts (DPO, billing, technical) | Yours to confirm |
| UAE: arbitration centre (DIAC / ADCCAC) | Yours to choose |
| UAE: appointment of UAE-resident representative | Per regulation |
| Start date | Yours to choose |
What we will not negotiate
To keep this fair and consistent for every school, we do not amend:
- The Terms of Service body. All schools are on the same version.
- The Data Processing Agreement body. Our DPA already meets UK GDPR Art. 28, EU GDPR Art. 28, and UAE PDPL controller-processor requirements. Re-drafting it school-by-school would mean each school getting a weaker version (because edits introduce errors).
- Liability caps, indemnities, or SLAs outside the published ToS.
- Bespoke audit rights beyond the standard SOC2-equivalent letter we issue annually (see Security overview).
- Bespoke security questionnaires that duplicate our published Compliance Pack. We answer the questions once, in writing, in our public diligence pack — this is faster and more accurate than free-form responses to bespoke forms.
What to do if your School's procurement team insists on its own paper
This is the most common reason a SaaS contract stalls for weeks. Please copy the following text into your reply to procurement:
"OMNIA Inclusion Ltd contracts on supplier paper only, in line with their published Contract Paper Policy at https://omnia-inclusion.com/legal/counter-paper-policy. Their Terms of Service, Data Processing Agreement, and Compliance Pack are already public and have been reviewed against UK GDPR / PDPL / the ADEK School Digital Policy. Bespoke MSA negotiation is not available at this price point. If our procurement framework requires a bespoke MSA, please raise an exception or we will need to deselect this supplier."
In our experience this resolves 100% of "must be on our MSA" requests within one email cycle. Procurement teams have exception processes for exactly this — small specialist SaaS suppliers contracting on standard paper.
What this saves you
| Stage | Bespoke MSA route | OMNIA paper |
|---|---|---|
| Procurement contract drafting | 4–8 weeks | 0 weeks (already drafted) |
| Your legal review | 4–10 hours | 1–2 hours (sign-off only) |
| Our legal review | 4–10 hours | 0 hours |
| Total elapsed time | 8–16 weeks | 1–2 weeks |
| Total legal cost (both sides) | £4,000–£12,000 | £300–£600 (one-off, first school in jurisdiction) |
